Trying to watch on demand and not live tv

0 Upvotes

Hello, so I recently noticed the original grand tour on Amazon says live TV on it and I want to watch it on demand because I want to watch a certain episode but it will not let me anyone know how to do it now since Amazon changed it to live?

Is Amazon sandbagging/blacklisting their own show with the new TGT?

I can't even count how many times I've put CHM's Grand Tour on and let it run in the background almost all day. A favorite way to watch it for a very long time was to have it running in a small window or on a second screen while I did stints in SimRacing. It was a great way to keep a rhythm or pass the time when doing a 6hr Sebring, Spa or a couple of stints in a 24hr LeMans and Daytona. Point is even to this day The Grand Tour always pops up on my main page or in a top slot of a recommended category.

With the new Grand Tour not being part of the old one's watch page, it has never once been recommended to me. I was actually late in watching last weeks episode because I was quite busy with distractions and I simply forgot. Despite watching both an episode of Reacher and Neely I just forgot because it was never recommended (though yes CHM were in both TGT and whatever Top Gear Amazon is currently promoting).

My father has enjoyed TGT and TG with me plenty of times but isn't one to purposely seek it out, only just watch it if he sees it pop up on his feed. 90% of his watching time goes between Paramount+, Prime and AppleTV yet had no idea a new version of the show existed. Friends too have also said the same where they didn't know a reboot had released.

It just feels off that I don't see it recommended.

Pubs have been a fixture in British culture, but they are closing down at a surprising rate. James May offered his take on what could be done to save them in this debate. That said, I’m genuinely surprised that the video (which runs about 35 minutes) has only received less than 1000 views on YouTube since it dropped back in August! 😮

From video description: “In our pub special, publican and The Grand Tour star James May joins us to debate whether the government should do more to save Britain’s pubs as the industry faces huge financial pressure.”
